#275722 Batman Arkham Knight revealed...No WiiU version

Posted by Jeremygts on 04 March 2014 - 04:12 PM

I sent Rocksteady a message of facebook asking if it was coming to Wii U and they said,

 

"Hi I was just wondering if Batman Arkham Knight is coming to Wii U?

    Aren't you forgetting Climax (Silent Hill) or High Voltage (The Conduit)?
     
    Silent Hill is the best looking third party game on Wii imo. It has better effects than anything I've seen on Gamecube.

    What number of effects does Silent Hill uses? Does it use the TEV to its fullest?

    I dont know if it used all 16 stages, but it made damn good use of both hollywood and broadway. Best silent hill since 3 to boot. They actually understood what silent hill was, so they were able to change things up without relying on shallow visual tropes like everyone else since. Really showed how many 'fans' knew nothing about the series as well. Turns out it was all the obnoxious stupid ones...

    The psp/ps2 versionwas so visually downgraded the game was actually broken...

    So, the characters and environments were wonderfully done, that geometry crunching is definately broadway, and the layers upon layersbof textures used for characters makes this the only other entry in the series to approach the wonderwork of sh3's cutscene lod character models, The texturing was wonderful, even up close and zoomed in even the tiniest notes were clean and readable. They were heavily layered too, and then layered on top of that for ice effects. Thats hollywood. A lot of lighting was done, not talking about the flashlight here, but general lighting set to infinity and a direction. think unmoving area lighting like the red or purple lights. Thats hollywood too.

    The real time ice transparancy/reflection/refraction is a signature hollywood/flipper effect, probably one of the best ive seen on the system, excellent embm tev work. The cell phone camera is another pass used, excellent portal work,and a tiny little framebuffer too. The lag effect was probably not an effect, but conveniently the actual update rate. Self shadowing of monsters for environment lighting was probably another pass on the gpu.

    The point light, ie flashlight was probably handled by broadway, as well as the awesome transformation sequences, the snow particle system, as well as the point lights created shadows, including the snow particles.

    Definately one of the most technically advanced wii games. And best wii games, and one of the best sh's around. Its right next to sh2 for me.

    if its 3rd party wii games to impress you are looking for, take a look at their work on overworld as well.

    And f you want something really weird, take a look at little kings story's ai (wii version only, the vita remake... does not have the emergant ai)

    I am constantly bewildered by what these villagers you create will do with their spare time, the emergent behaviors that surface around the handful of scripted rules (characters do their jobs, miners go to rocks and mine, loggers go log... and when they run into others they interact... the more they interact, the more they start pathfinding their ways to the characters they like to say, have picnics, and run ito other things on the way, where the rules and hueristics combine to emerge to create bizaare events, like a massive picnic that turns into a hippie beating mob)...and some manner of hueristic system are some of the best ive ever seen on ANY hardware... And often hilarious.


    #253572 Assassin creed 4 is out on wii u if anybody noticed.

    Im actually liking the pirate theme and more open world.... waiting for performance impressions, and better screens than the tiny miiverse ones, but it looks actually pretty good.
